Jelbic Empire enacts sanctions against Zardugal
6 October 5583, Wiel, Kingdom of Wrnuke, Empire of the Jelbic Peoples


Grzkai Krlmékez, currently both the Prefect of Wrnuke and the 'acting' Prime Minister of Beiteynu, pushed for the sanctions.

After a secret closed session of the Great Council of the Empire the word is out: the Jelbic Empire will enact severe sanctions against Zardugal. After diplomatic incidents kept stacking up and all talks failed it seems that escalation is the only thing that can still happen between Wrnuke and Zardugal. Two years ago the Kingdom of Wrnuke declared the treaty between the two states as null and void. The split between the two was a long time coming, but for Wrnuke the final straw was Zardugal deploying paid volunteers during the conflict in Istalia. The current Director of Zardugal, Mario Gropo, is known as a staunch anti-Jelbic. Under his leadership Zardugal has split from Diarmaido's more moderate course seeking to co-exist and cooperate to an aggressive anti-Jelbic policy. According to Director Gropo the existence of the Jelbic Empire is a direct threat to Zardugal, under his tenure re-armament has taken new heights. This in turn was considered a severe hostile move by Wiel, which at the time was still bound by the non-aggression pact between the nations. The Jelbic labour fund was even paying for investments in Zardugal, that same money was then used to purchase military equipment to aim at Wrnuke. After that volunteers were, on Zardugal's payroll, deployed in Istalia. This prompted the Prefect of Wrnuke, Grzkai Krlmékez, to pursue a new course of action in regards to Zardugal.

The Prefect has long been cited as a careful diplomat and a man best described as 'everyone's friend'. Leaked documents show that upon his ascensions as Prefect he informed the Xsampan intelligence chief that his agents were about to be compromised within Jelbic nations. This act of mercy gave Xsampa time to extract their field agents, the move at the time was criticised by allies of Wrnuke but was seen as a way to preserve friendship with Xsampa. In the end Xsampa took a harder course in regards to Wrnuke as well, which may have had an influence on Krlmékez turn in regards to geopolitics. The friendly diplomat has now become a fierce anti-communist statesman. Since 5581 he has been pushing for sanctions on all socialist states, going as far to announce that they must be brought to their knees: "It is our duty to protect our interests, to protect the sovereignty of others, to make sure no person on this planet is oppressed by totalitarian autocrats like the communists and socialists, we must cripple their regimes by all imaginable peaceful means." The exact details of the sanctions are not published but under the guidance of Prefect Krlmékez a special committee within the Great Council has been working on it for the last two years. Known details are that all member states of the Jelbic Empire will cut all trade and economical ties with Zardugal, the Empire will freeze all Zardic assets on accounts controlled by companies within the Jelbic Empire, other Majatran nations are encouraged, through financial means, to cease or decrease their interactions with Zardugal and there have been rumours of a special program to extract Zardic dissidents. For example the recently wanted Desiderio Sepstono has been offered full asylum, but it is not yet known if he is actually within the borders of the Jelbic Empire. Many expect the sanctions to be only the first step of further escalations against Zardugal, though only time will tell what will happen next.

State of emergency declared across Wrnuke
2 March 5587, Wiel, Kingdom of Wrnuke, Empire of the Jelbic Peoples


Earlier today troops of the light infantry together with the constabulary forces cordoned off parts of the government sector.

Slight confusion and worry was the general feeling across the Kingdom of Wrnuke after regular broadcasts and radio shows were interrupted by a televised speech from the Prefect Grzkai Krlmékez. In the speech the head of the government of the leading state of the Empire of the Jelbic Peoples declared that for Wrnuke a state of emergency would be in immediate effect. The Prefect also announced martial law, a curfew and a mobilisation of the domestic armed forces. As a reason for this Krlmékez cited a plot against the government, a potential coup, and 'worrisome developments that could threaten all our lives'. During the speech no true details were given but the machine of the Armed Forces quickly sprung into action. The Military Constabulary, Wrnuke's military police and special enforcement agency, was quick to close down government offices. The infantry of the Land Forces appeared all across the nation setting up roadblocks, checkpoints and allegedly even arresting individuals. 

After the televised announcement regular programming did not continue for several hours. There are also unconfirmed reports that members of the Armed Forces attempted to enter the headquarters of the RSB, Wrnuke's state security agency. For now however it seems that the state of emergency will not be lifted. The Prefect did state that the situation will be addressed 'as soon as possible, when it is safe to do so' but when that is remains unclear. Many are waiting for the Emperor to address the situation but he has remained silent on the issue, which most are seeing as a silent approval of the action taken. The Emperor's heir, the Archduke Wrntukai, is currently deployed with the II. Vlótzgrsho which is reportedly stationed at the Emperor Bunjamín Naval Station in the Trigunian splinter state of Brakav. His press office has also refused to comment on the situation, stating that the Archduke is busy serving with the Royal Marines and cannot comment on domestic issues at this time.

The Emperor has died, long live the Emperor
28 March 5587, Wiel, Kingdom of Wrnuke, Empire of the Jelbic Peoples (BACKDATED)


Officers of the Air Forces march past Emperor Wrntukai II and his new Prefect standing in front of a statue of Temrkai H'án.

At 9:00 in the morning on the 27th of March a broadcast by the government across all national media confirmed the passing of the glorious Emperor Bunjamín. The Emperor, who was also King of Wrnuke, Shah of Barmenistan, Meleh of Beiteynu, protector of Jelbe and Pontesi as well as defender of the Dual Monarchy. The revered monarch, cited by many as the most powerful and influential across the globe, was a distant cousin to King Kezkai V and him being named as heir to the throne of the Jelbic Kingdom came as a surprise to many. In his long lifetime the good Emperor unified all the Jelbic peoples and even expanded beyond it, with the Empire of the Jelbic Peoples becoming a supranational state of six nations. According to statements the Emperor passed peacefully in his sleep. Previous condolences published several weeks ago were premature according to government spokespersons, though the whole government has graciously thanked people for extending their condolences towards this massive loss. The son of the Emperor, Archduke Wrntukai, was serving with the II. Vlótzgrsho and was able to return home only two weeks after with the entire fleet. This generous honour to his father did the Emperor much good in his last days.

As per the wishes of Emperor Bunjamín, who was a practitioner of the Yeudi faith, his funeral was organised within a day of his official passing. The Archduke of Banstill cut the big black ribbon to herald the passing of the Emperor as per Yeudish tradition. Though certain Jelbic elements returned too during the ceremony, as the Emperor had always been keenly interested in Tanhrism and Zollism too. Several shamans gave sermons during the funeral. Afterwards the Emperor's body was laid to rest within the family tomb of the Banmek-Sntazed's in Banstill. A few hours after it was time to coronate the new Emperor, who claimed all the same titles as his father. While not all member states of the Empire of the Jelbic Peoples have confirmed this there have also been no objections. A large ceremony was held, adhering to Tanhrist and mostly Zollist traditions as unlike his father Wnrtukai took to the native religions of Wrnuke. The new Emperor was crowned by the highest shaman of the Zollist religion, Altán Jargsrmo Z'nstro, with additional blessings by the Patriarch of Augusta Jozefo, who still resides in Wrnuke after his predecessor was exiled from Zardugal. The Archduke declared himself to be Emperor Wrntukai II after his coronation, citing that Saint Laŭrenco was his predecessor as Wrntukai I. The good Saint Laŭrenco was also known as Emperor Lawrns-Wrntukai, a Banmek-Sntazed who was raised with the Vanukeaans culture but later adopted his Jelbic heritage and utilised a double name to show this. He is known as the first official Emperor of the Jelbic Peoples and the successor of Temrkai H'án, later being declared a Saint by the Augustan Church.

After the ceremonies swift changes were made to the government of the Kingdom of Wrnuke. Prefect Krlmékez resigned, as did Director-General Amrun of the RSB. The state of emergency was lifted with the announcement of the passing of Emperor Bunjamín a day earlier. Many cite recent tensions between the Prefect and the Director-General as the cause of the state of emergency and that Emperor Wrntukai II has used his imperial authority to make both men resign for the good of the nation. The new Emperor is said to be supported by a younger generation of military officers as well as ambitious and progressive representatives in the Grand Council, this Young Guard is expected to determine the future course of Wrnuke and the Empire as a whole. As a first move the Emperor named Herlkai Cahn as his new Prefect, Cahn is a young representative and often cited as a friend of the former Archduke.

Riots after controversial "Royal Law" stalls in Grand Council
5 May 5590, Wiel, Kingdom of Wrnuke, Empire of the Jelbic Peoples


Members of different factions of the New Constitution Movement brawling in the Grand Council during a heated session.

A major crisis for the new cabinet under Prefect Herlkai Cahn has erupted with the stalling of the new "Royal Law" proposal. While initially many felt that Emperor Wrntukai II would endorse progressive proposals and let the 'Young Guard' that supported him enact several reforms it is now turning out that the Emperor expected things to go rather differently. The conservative faction within the New Constitution Movement (SAG) has proposed, allegedly upon the request of the Emperor himself, to draft and enact a special law giving the monarch far-reaching executive powers and further limiting democracy in Wrnuke. The Constitutional Amendment to Safeguard the Monarchy and Fortify the Empire, more commonly referred to as the "Royal Law", was brought to the floor during a rather heated debate. Chairwoman of the Grand Council Kuldrmai Brnas was forced to call a recess after a brawl broke out between the conservative and progressive factions of the SAG. In the end the debate over the controversial pro-monarchist bill took four days and was widely publicised. 

The massive media attention caused an outrage on social media, as the younger generation reacted badly to the proposals drafted by the Emperor's own faction. The outrage did not remain online as protestors took to the streets in large numbers. Prefect Cahn called for calmness and asked protestors to disperse but his requests were not heeded. Nonetheless, the Prefect also instructed the police to let the protests transpire peacefully. This went well for the first two days but on the third day senior conservative representatives tried to bar progressives from entering the Grand Council, with one going as far as to threaten the Chairwoman to start the voting without a quorum. This news quickly spread to the protestors outside, who then escalated to violence themselves. The Prefect, ranked amongst the progressive flanks, refused to send in the army and travelled to the Grand Council instead. Officially cabinet ministers have no seat in the Grand Council but Cahn inserted himself in the process in an attempt to stabilise the situation. Violent clashes are happening all across major cities in Wrnuke, with the government sector of Wiel being described by some as a "warzone". The Emperor has not responded, he travelled shortly before the escalation to Narikaton & Darnussia to meet with Queen Theodora.

Revolution! Jelbic People's Soviet Republic declared in Wiel
9 June 5590, Wiel, Jelbic People's Soviet Republic of Wrnuke


The situation only a month ago when over a million people gathered on the streets to protest against the autocratic law.

The turmoil is finally over for the people of Wrnuke. Chairman Altán Hukrskez'lkjo of the Committee for the Reformation of the State has, using his temporary executive powers, signed the New Constitution of 5590 into law with unanimous approval of all present representatives. The committee members, who in total number 62, also all signed off on the reformation of the former Jelbic Kingdom. Former King Wnrtukai XII, who still touts himself as the Emperor Wrntukai II, is currently residing in the Dual Monarchy of Narikaton & Darnussia with his 'girlfriend' Theodora Thaller-Lackmann. Meanwhile the hard workers of Wrnuke have ushered in a new era. Hukrskez'lkjo held a speech to the people that gathered outside the newly named People's Council, the former Grand Council, to herald in this new era: "Today we celebrate a victory of the Jelbic peoples against a system built against us. Today we are all united as we have thrown off our shackles and replaced an ancient archaic system with one forged for us. But today is only the first small step towards a great endeavour. We must heed the words of the Worldburner, we must carry his message. [We] must carry the torch of the Worldburner and enlighten the Jelbosphere."

For now only one party has registered for the upcoming elections, a collection of revolutionary socialists, progressives and devoted followers of the Worldburner that have named themselves 'Heirs of the Worldburner' or Sekfrojkaiék Mazrk. The party is led by Altán Hukrskez'lkjo who is expected to mostly be a figurehead and a symbol of stability for the young republic. The true force behind the party is Nurem Rotrovresk, a former left-wing progressive representative of the New Constitution Movement and one of the fiercest fighters against the Royal Law that sparked the Bloodless Revolution. The electoral committee is expecting more parties that align with the new requirements to register in the following months. For now the state will only allow parties that align with the left-leaning Worldburnerist views, reactionary elements are strictly forbidden to participate as they are seen as inherently dangerous for the democratic system implemented by the Committee.

Murad Pecnék: "Progressing only with Radiance!"

Murad Pecnék during an Interview

Former weapons magnate and businessman Murad Pecnék has recently led to a small uproar in certian social and political circles as he has decided to enter the political arena after the revolution. According to the man himself he welcomed the revolution with open arms. "Everybody who knows me understands my fiery passion for worldburnerism. I've been into the Jelbic classics since my University days." Well while most accept him among the ranks of the national Worldburnerdom, he is quite unorthodox as he attributes most hindrances to what he sees as 'progress' to the environmental issues. "I completely agree with my comrades on economic topics, we have to free the Jelbic worker but we also have to free the Jelbic pasture, coast and cliff-side from the destruction caused by renewable energy sources. The only energy source that can lead to eternal unlimited progress is Nuclear Fission and its more developed denominations. I love Radiation!." He's often criticized for ignoring the need to store nuclear waste and the danger accidents in nuclear power plants can pose but he rebutes these attacks by saying that the threat of continuing on the petro-route is far worse. Aside from this central aspect of his Green Scourge Party, he advocates for what some would say are "classic green policies" such as protection of wild life and such. Some eyebrows were raised after the publication of their civil liberties demands as the Green Scourge has proposed ultra-liberal stances toward a great-many things. It is certainly an exciting time for our glorious People's Republic.

Traditional horse markets under scrutiny
12 December 5591, Tes Leppóld, Jelbic People's Soviet Republic of Wrnuke


A selection of horses at the traditional annual horse market in the city of Tes Leppóld, one of the markets being scrutinised. 

It is a common sight in Wrnuke during the autumn and winter period: horse markets. Traditionalists, breeders, enthusiasts, athletes, farmers, hobbyists, and dutiful fathers all gather at them every year around the start of autumn until Hallowtide. Once the temperatures get colder again it is the traditional moment for the Jelbics of Wrnuke to buy, sell, and trade horses. The annual horse market in the coastal city of Tes Leppóld is no exception. The city was founded as Fort Graf Leopold in 1635 by Dorvish settlers on basis of its good natural harbour. Over the years the Dorvish settlers, as per their colonisation strategy, mingled with the local population. The Dorvish already had a long tradition of cattle and horse markets in their native Dorvik, the tradition of horse markets pops up across Wrnuke in cities where the Dorvish began their trade and colonisation adventure in the Jelbic lands. A local twist was given to them, as the Jelbics always treated their horses as brothers and friends. Without a horse a true Jelbic was considered lost and incapable of functioning in society. Much has changed since then, but the importance of the horse in Wrnuke's society can not be denied. For the years after, especially after the Jelbic Renaissance, horse markets became a more sacred ritual. The horse markets became a place to find a new 'brother', fit for battle and to impress others. They also became social gathering places, where tribes from far gathered together to share the latest news, forge new bonds over a drink and some fine food, resolve disputes, and sell other specialised goods. In the more modern age, as many in Wrnuke do not own horses anymore, they are mostly a place where the breeder meets the traditionalist, the athlete, the hobbyist and the odd father trying to please their child. Local festivals have grown around these horse markets and the annual dates are often of local importance, signifying the start of autumn or winter in many communities.

In recent years however the horse markets have been commercialised. The horse trading has become a secondary part of the markets, with the stalls selling local goods becoming a bigger focus. The primary focus however is on the feasts associated with these horse market festivals. Loud music, free-flowing beer, deep-fried snacks, and many drunk guests all revelling in their favourite annual tradition. In the background deals are still being made about the horses but more and more they are becoming festivals for party-goers. Many local municipalities do not mind this development, they subsidise it solely for the local community and to keep a form of tradition alive. In some places however, like in Tes Leppóld, it has received scrutiny for another reason. The horses are being treated with less care than a goldfish at a summer fair. In 5590 the Tes Leppóld horse market received an official warning from the inspectors for not having any feed for the horses in supply, with the horses barely being fed during the three days the festival was held. This year a lack of water was reported, as well as several breeders with emaciated animals. One breeder had been banned in 5587 for beating a horse and was warned in 5591 again for doing the same thing. Inspectors are nothing similar trends across other horse markets. "The status of the horse as a brother to the Jelbic is being forgotten. They are being treated as a nuisance that may earn some Marks, it is a difficult development to witness," said Pruve Anzlék-Freirth. He has been an inspector of horse markets for fifteen years but says that the last two years are shocking: "I firmly believe in Seikfrojkailyk [read: Worldburnerism] and the modernisation efforts of the Republic, but to forget our horses as the brothers they are.. it pains me to see." Anzlék-Freirth is not the only one to speak up, several animal rights organisations have complained about the recent state of horse markets. The organisation of the horse market in Tes Leppóld did not want to respond and issued only the following statement: "We treat the animals at the Tes Leppóld annual horse market with the utmost decency and respect." The organisation has been fined this year for animal neglect.

Vrné Ztarmojad enters Parliament: Beating sceptics!

Nuclear Power plant

Pecnék and his close political comrade Sagzi Zhtál have managed to beat the sceptics and enter the People's Council in a what they themselves described as a *close* race against the Sekfrojkaiék Mazrk. While unexpectedly gaining two seats in parliament, Pecnék and Zhtál have the difficult task of fighting as a minority against the 99% of the chamber. As such they were approached by the majority-holders and invited into government. Due to the lack of personel (some attribute that to Pecnék rumored odd personality traits in regards to animals) the Party has sent the son of Zhtál Daníl and the wife of Pecnék - Ershébef into the cabinet to represent the Green Scourge. Inquiries on the coalition agreement have been left largely unanswered except for the one-liner "We're getting those big plants, dont worry."

Wrnuke's fishing industry: a fair and safe living
6 November 5592, Jvakten, Jelbic People's Soviet Republic of Wrnuke


The fishing vessel ST22, captained by Bolra Mrthotrjrzajad, sails out of the harbour of Jvakten in Northern Wrnuke.

The average modern Jelbic yearns for a safe way to make a good living, a way without the hindrances of the past. The modern Jelbic 'hunter' no longer goes out on a horse with a bow and hawk to find a few rabbits and other ground animals to later roast over a fire. Any person with a decent understanding of reality knows that such endeavours are wasteful, reactionary, and inefficient. Instead the modern Jelbic 'hunter' takes to the seas, thousands of years ago during the great migrations the sea was always the greatest obstacle for the Jelbic hordes. Horses are avid swimmers when led properly but often hesitate by the sea, for it is difficult to find your footing in the immense depths of the world's oceans. Nowadays the modern Jelbic has long left their horses at the stable, or running wild on the steppe. Instead they go by boat, modern fishing vessels are a common sight in the seas surrounding Wrnuke and all of them are manned by smart entrepreneurs and hard workers making good and safe wages. Captain Bolra Mrthotrjzajad is one of them, at 41 she is an experienced fisherwoman and invests heavily into modern technologies like sensors to monitor the fishing activity, as well as a national network that shows the quotas, current selling prices, any other information required for a good day out. Then there is also the use of artificial intelligence, scanners within the nets and hull storage scan the fish coming in, the fish swimming by, with the data analysis being done boats like Mrthotrjrzajad's ST22 can even help fight overfishing. Captain Mrthotrjzajad says these innovations are necessary for her to maximise productivity while minimising the effects of their fishing on nature: "Fishery is no longer the game it once was, labour costs are always slowly rising, the environment is only going to become more vulnerable, without modern innovations there is no way I would keep my business and ship afloat. Recent access to satellites have really changed the game for us as well, we basically know the activity of the fish before we even arrive in the area, it is no longer searching for that perfect spot it is simply sailing to that perfect spot. This saves time, fuel, and assures we do not fish for the wrong kind of fish that day, as we strictly follow the guidelines [read: the daily environmental protection fishery quota] laid out by the Ministry." The captain and her crew have applauded recent efforts by the government to improve the fishery industry in Wrnuke, saying that the investments in technological advances are a "god-sent". 

The high safety regulations, collective bargaining agreement, tax cuts, and government subsidies have made Wrnuke's fishing industry a desirable sector. This all in stark contrast to Kalistan's privateering business. Earlier this year the Empire of Kalistan pulled the letters of marque allowing privateers to ransack, rob, and murder those that dared to sail through certain parts of international waters claimed by Kalistan. The Ministry of Trade & Industry reported 1 fatality from Wrnuke's fishing industry this year, a case where a young fisherman failed to follow safety procedures ending in an unfortunate accident with loss of life. Kalistan's Foreign Ministry instead reported 68 dead or missing, a dark and regrettable difference. Furthermore the interview with a captain Parker released numbers about their employment as privateers, painting a bleak picture of the reality of this low-income business. The interview stated that Parker and his crew took away ₭350,000, equivalent to around 257,000 LFR in the current market. Calculations done by Opstmojadé Péashro economist Zahr-Abdlá Nagri-Zazrnamr show that the privateers on the Parker vessel made around  ₭14,538 per year before taxes. With 850 days at sea being spent 24 hours a day on duty this would come to an hourly wage of ₭2.87. If the crew would serve in 8 hour shifts this would be ₭8.60 an hour, but again this is all before tax. The Minister of Trade & Industry, Temrkai Tuzmhamék, is one of the pioneers behind the improved working conditions for Wrnuke's fishermen and has always maintained that low wages for a hard-working and modern profession such as manning a fishing vessel would be unacceptable. "Any person that spends time at sea is worthy of a liveable hourly wage, any time spent during storms and other bad weather should even receive a bonus as far as I am concerned." The wishes of the minister were made into law with the new collective bargaining agreement of 5592, assuring that in contrast to a decadent reactionary state like Kalistan the honest modern Jelbic fisherman of Wrnuke will always make a good wage. The minimum hourly wage in Wrnuke for fishermen is set at 18.50 LFR, with tax cuts and bonus payments for 'dangerous situations' assuring it will always remain a good wage too. Every day the Worldburnerist republic is showing the reactionary states of the world how much better life can be, a great victory for the Jelbic people's and for the Worldburner himself.

Wrnuke to be a Worldburnerist state
10 December 5594, Wiel, Jelbic People's Soviet Republic of Wrnuke


Leader of the Republic Altán Hukrskez'lkjo signing the draft of the amendment before it was proposed to the People's Council.

Some have called him the 'father of Wrnukaék socialism' and the 'founder of the Soviet Republic'. Altán Hukrskez'lkjo, the current elected Leader of the Soviet Republic, is both the head of state and an influential thinker on socialism in Wrnuke. Many years ago a young Hukrskez'lkjo moved to Zardugal to avoid persecution from the monarchist regime, the safest place for a young socialist from Wrnuke to be. He did not become a devout socialist like his Augustan hosts, but instead became very interested in the written work of the Worldburner. The Worldburner was a pan-Jelbic philosopher and writer from Jelbe who lived during and after the World War when Jelbe was humiliated by Wrnuke during a counter-offensive that showed the technological gap between the two states, as Wrnuke had always been the more 'settled' of the two biggest Jelbic brothers. Most of his writings have been lost, only a few published ones still remain, the majority of his teachings having been passed, ironically, in the oral tradition. While the Worldburner himself would have hated it, his ideas remained alive through this Jelbic custom. Written oral stories and the last existing copies found their way to Altán Hukrskez'lkjo who, together with other exiled socialists, founded the Beshbrjrzi Onsmifrndé Zemosrne or Underground Socialist Workers Council. The BOZ for years did everything it could to 'sabotage' the Kingdom of Wrnuke. It had little success in the public eye as the RSB under the crown repressed republican and socialist movements, yet it managed to infiltrate most levels of the Kingdom. Young progressives heeded the words of the BOZ 'infiltrators' and when the Bloodless Revolution happened many of the left-wing elements of the BOZ were able to enter the committees on reforming the Kingdom into a Republic. Altán Hukrskez'lkjo became the first among equals, as the Chairman of the Committee for the Reformation of the State.

Since its first open election Altán Hukrskez'lkjo has filled the role of the ceremonial head of state, as Zemosrné Rekvaknsék Wrntuhiko, or Leader of the Soviet Republic, he has been a symbol of stability and unity for the nation. Whenever a process of reform gets stuck the Wrntuhiko travels to it and helps resolve any issues. He speaks to people of every class, brings discussions to the floor of parliament, and in a way has become a 'people's monarch'. In the meantime his idea for a progressive left-leaning republic has taken root far stronger than he ever expected. The three parties currently registered in Wrnuke are all of the Worldburnerist ideology, the same ideology Hukrskez'lkjo so adores. On the initiative of the party he is associated with, the Heirs of the Worldburner or Seikfrojkaiék Mazrk, a new constitutional amendment has been drafted to essentially demand that every party aligns with some of the ideals of Worldburnerism. The constitutional amendment is controversial as it would block many ideologies, though some argue that Worldburnerism is so broad and necessary for Wrnuke that a healthy democracy can be achieved with only Worldburnerist parties. Leader Hukrskez'lkjo has now come forward to agree with this sentiment, as he has signed the draft of the amendment. It is currently being voted on in the People's Council, but with the Heirs of the Worldburner having 98% of the seats it is expected to pass without much issue. Hukrskez'lkjo defended his endorsement to the press: "I firmly believe that the more I read, think, ponder, and experience Worldburnerism the more I have come to believe that this is the only way forward for Wrnuke. Right now we have the Heirs, a pan-Jelbic and revolutionary socialist modernisation movement, the Green Scourge who are more in the line of modernisation through ecological measures and nuclear energy and the hyper-progressive eco-feminists of Humanity. The variety there alone should prove to you that through Worldburnerism there can be a true people's democracy."
